COURT ACTION:The judge who threw out the Bailey lawsuit against Eminem chose to deliver her verdict in rap form - loosely speaking:
Mr Bailey complains that his (Eminem's) rap is trash
So he's seeking compensation in the form of cash
Bailey thinks he's entitled to some monetary gain
Because Eminem used his name in vain
The lyrics are stories no-one would take as fact
They're an exaggeration of a childish act
It is therefore this court's ultimate position
That Eminem is entitled to summary disposition

Clearly, not since The Judge who came up with the arrangement which lead to My Two Dads has there been such a down-with-the-kids arbiter on the bench. We're not entirely sure rapping is really the way to deliver legal verdicts, though - can the interests of justice really be served when the judge is going for the rhyme? Anyone up for a hearing called Mr. Stilty is going to be at a disadvantage.
